So i my question is what cpu to get with b360m pro 4 cos already have it , what higher cpu i can combine with this mobo ( i was think i5 8400 or i7 8700 not k cos i dont want oc ) but i heard gtx 1060 3gb is weak for i7 8700 is this true or i can only go for i5 8400 and last i m gonna get h7 cpu fan, im only worried about bottleneck

You should be fine with the i5 it will be good enough.

If u do not plan to upgrade your gpu any time soon I would choose the i5-8400. They work perfectly fine together

Giras · Apr 23, 2018

so i7 8700 no way right ?

Tony_186 · Apr 23, 2018

I mean you can get it but there wouldn't be much of a difference

hm what u mean no diffirence i5 8400 vs i7 8700 ? diffirence cos of gpu or cpu ?only need for gaming nothing else
cant be same cpu's or Im wrong

Depends on your monitor resolution. If using 1080p, both CPUs would give you about same FPS in most games just because your GPU would limit what 8700 can do. If using lower resolution, you could see the difference (8700 giving you more FPS then 8400).

Giras :

With this gpu the GPU bottleneck will be enormous. If you are planning to get a better GPU i would recommend the i7-8700. Also do not forget that dual channel makes huge difference in gaming performance.
If u plann 1440p gaming or higher I would recommend a ryzen CPU. In most of the optimised titles they beat intel with more than 20 fps on min and average

what about i5 8500 is same price here i know all talking about 8400 but for same price ?yea Im playing 60hz atm and have plan to buy later this year new monitor hmm what a hard decision

Giras :

The difference between i5 8500 and i5 8400 in gaming is 1-5 fps. For the price difference it is not worth it.

Giras · Apr 23, 2018

price is same here and 8600 not k is like 30 euro more Im just worried about bottleneck

slavi_asenov2002 · Apr 23, 2018

Giras :

For this particular GPU the I5 8400 will be more than enough. They will work fine.

Giras · Apr 23, 2018

thx alot all yea im thinking go i5 8400 and for rest money more memory or some ..
cheers all

Giras :

Also to safe some bucks. Coffee lake DOES NOT fast ram like 3200 3000 or either 2666mhz. It will benefit from them just like 2400mhz memory. For better gaming performance you should get a kit too

Giras · Apr 23, 2018

yea i was think max what mobo support and is 2666 2x dual
